“We’re thrilled partypoker LIVE and WPT have agreed to a four-year partnership – two iconic brands of poker coming together to offer players all over the world more choice of where to play,” said Chairman of partypoker Mike Sexton when the schedule was revealed in August. “We’re excited to announce the first event will take place at Playground Poker Club in Montreal, where we will work together to offer three components of the World Poker Tour – WPT Main Tour, WPTDeepStacks, and WPT500.”
The final table of the 2012 World Poker Tour Montreal $3,300 no-limit hold’em main event is set and the exciting battle for the title and first prize of $779,710 will be streaming live, with.
As Sexton mentioned, there will be events from each of the WPT’s most popular buy-in levels, including a lower buy-in, WPT 500 $550 CAD event with a $1,000,000 CAD guarantee running Oct. 21 – 30 and a $1,650 CAD buy-in WPT DeepStacks event which also features a $1,000,000 CAD that takes place from Nov. 1 – 4. The centerpiece of the whole affair will undoubtedly be the $5,000,000 CAD guaranteed, $5,300 CAD buy-in no-limit hold’em main event, which will run from Oct. 28 – Nov. 4.
The main event features an online starting flight that kicks off on Oct. 28 on partypoker. The live portion of the tournament gets underway the following day, Oct. 29.

partypoker’s Exciting Rest-of-Year Schedule
Once the WPT Montreal series comes to an end, the next big series on the agenda is the Caribbean Poker Party (CPP), which is set to take place from Nov. 9-18 at the Baha Mar Casino & Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas. There are 13 events set to take place during the festival, but the whole affair is centered around two gigantic tournaments: The $10,000,000 guaranteed $25,500 buy-in MILLIONS World and the $10,000,000 guaranteed $5,300 buy-in Caribbean Poker Party Main Event.
“There are many coveted titles in poker, from the EPT and WPT Grand Final titles, to WSOP and WSOPE Main Event and Players Championship bracelets, and not forgetting our own MILLIONS Grand Final crown,” said partypoker LIVE president John Duthie. “However, a $10,000,000 guaranteed, $25.5K buy-in tournament is just as important as any of those. We can’t wait to hand the trophy over to our first winner in November. Let’s hope it’s one of the 100+ online qualifiers partypoker will be sending, as that would be quite some story.'
Following on the heels of that huge series in the Carribean will be the MILLIONS Online. As previously mentioned, the $20 million guaranteed $5,300 buy-in online event will run from Nov. 25 – Dec. 5 and is expected to be the biggest online tournament ever, with $2.5 million going to the eventual champion.
